Charlie's Review of Optimus Svea

I received the 2- Svea 123r stoves I ordered in 3 days standard shipping. Great!!! job Camp Saver. I had to get not just 1 but 2 for upcoming backpacking trips. The back story why I bought this stove is that it brought back many great memories of my Uncle Warren who took me backpacking with him over 48 years ago. He has since passed. He was at one time, President of the Sierra Club (local Chapter) and active board member there of. He was very active out doors with nature. To make a long story longer he taught me how to use and light the Svea stove he had one of the originals from the 50's or 60's. I thought it was the coolest little stove ever. I plan to revisit all the great places with my Svea 123r stove that my uncle took me backpacking to. May need a backpacking partner though? that's why I bought 2.
Pros:
  • Works as I remeber it.
Cons:
  • Now made in China
Best Used for:
  • Back packing trips up to 1 week
Would Recommend: Yes
